Feathered star

I have wanted to try making a Feathered star block for a really long time, but I have been a bit scared by all the little pieces and matches. But last night I mustered up some courage and cut the pieces for a block, started piecing it, and after some time with Bernie tonight this is what we ended up with:

It's a 12" block, consisting of 129 pieces, and the HST units finish at 3/4" :o) It's not perfect, but I'm happy with my first attempt! I have an idea for what I want to do with it, but I'm afraid it will take time...

I love your feathered star! Have you been looking through the patterns on my table? ;o) This is a block that I would like to make -one day ... I am making my SBS blocks, yes I am! Thank you for showing us!

Do you really mind that was your first attempt at a feathered star?! It is perfect! Nothing to add! I am curious to see what you will add to it. I find your Ocean waves gorgeous.Maybe with the weather we are having now you will find it better to spend time at the sewing machine. It is the way I feel anyway. Rain outside, sewing machine roaring inside! Take care.
